Lightning to Micro USB Adapter available for purchase

Carrying around a cable to ensure that you can juice up your brand new iPhone 5 anywhere may prove cumbersome and energy consuming. That’s your energy, not the one coming out from wall sockets. And Apple has a solution for that.

The Cupertino, California-based computer company has officially kicked off sales of its Lightning to Micro USB Adapter which lets you charge up and sync your new-generation iDevice using nothing more than a traditional micro-USB connection.

That’s right, all you need to do is carry around this tiny piece of plastic the size of a peanut and wherever there’s a guy or gal with a micro USB cable, just ask them to lend it to you for a while.

Apple’s marketing pitch states, “Use this adapter to connect an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with Lightning connector to a micro USB cable to sync and charge, or to a compatible micro USB charger to charge your device.”

The hardware sells for a not-so-affordable $19.00 in the U.S. and €19.00 in the EU.
